#92 Goodfellas (1990)


Now this is a real gangster movie! Great actors, great story, great soundtrack. This movie was very well-written and follows the story of Henry Hill all the way from his childhood dreams of becoming a gangster to him entering the witness protection program to save his family's life. It shows how Henry advances within the mob family and all of the things he has to go through. It is a little long but well worth it. The 3 hours actually go by pretty fast and it feels like less. Plus it's based on a true story which is always a big plus in a movie, at least for us it is. We found the end of the movie to be very ironic, I don't want to ruin the end of it for anybody who hasn't seen it yet, but the ending is a very interesting catch 22. You will enjoy this one very much and it is well deserving to be placed on this list!

This clip is one of our favorites from the movie, it shows a little bit of the benefits associated with mob life. It was also done in one shot which I find very unique and impressive. On top of all that it has an incredible song by, "The Crystals" playing over it. Check it out!
